“I loved you
like a man loves a woman he never touches, only
writes to, keeps little photographs of. I would have
loved you more if I had sat in a small room rolling a
cigarette and listened to you piss in the bathroom,
but that didn’t happen. your letters got sadder.
your lovers betrayed you. kid, I wrote back, all
lovers betray.”
― Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell

“كم مرة ستسافرونْ والى متى ستسافرونْ ولأي حلم؟ وإذا رجعتم ذات يومْ فلأي منفى ترجعون، لأي منفى ترجعون؟”
― محمود درويش, مديح الظل العالي
